More quotes by Charles Bukowski
We do not abandon ship. I say, as corny as it may sound, through the strength and spirit and fire and dare and gamble of a few men in a few ways we can save the carcass of humanity from drowning. No light goes out until it goes out. Let's fight as men, not rats. Period. No further addition.
Charles Bukowski
we only asked for leopards to guard our thinning dreams.
Charles Bukowski
well, i don't know about you but I'm going to try everything! War, women, travel, marriage, children, the works. [...]. I want to know about things, what makes them work!
Charles Bukowski
Lighting new cigarettes, pouring more drinks. It has been a beautiful fight. Still is.
Charles Bukowski
I've learned to feel good when I feel good. it's better to be driven around in a red porsche than to own one. the luck of the fool is inviolate.
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
Four days alone with nothing. Emerge empowered. The first human face you see will knock you back 50%.
Charles Bukowski
In my next life I want to be a cat. To sleep 20 hours a day and wait to be fed. To sit around licking my ass.
Charles Bukowski
if you get married they think you're finished and if you are without a woman they think you're incomplete.
Charles Bukowski
There's a light somewhere. It may not be much light but it beats the darkness.
Charles Bukowski
It is possible to be truly mad and to still exist upon scraps of life.
Charles Bukowski
nothing's news. it's the same old thing in disguise. only one thing comes without a disguise and you only see it once, or maybe never. like getting hit by a freight train. makes us realize that all our moaning about long lost girls in gingham dresses is not so important after all.
Charles Bukowski
Sometimes you just have to pee in the sink.
Charles Bukowski
There's no way I can stop writing, it's a form of insanity.
Charles Bukowski
I was a man who thrived on solitude without it I was like another man without food or water. Each day without solitude weakened me. I took no pride in my solitude but I was dependent on it. The darkness of the room was like sunlight to me.
Charles Bukowski
Don’t do it. Don’t love me.
Charles Bukowski
there are policemen in the street and angels in the clouds
